For single filers: 2% to $1,000, 3% to $2,000, 4% to $3,000, 4.75% to $100,000, 5% to $125,000, 5.25% to $150,000, 5.5% to $250,000, 5.75% to $500,000, 6.25% to $1,000,000 and 6.5% above $1,000,000. Married filing jointly thresholds are wider — see the table above.
What is the Maryland standard deduction for 2026?
Maryland's standard deduction varies with income (15% of Maryland AGI within a floor and cap); this calculator uses $3,350 single / $6,700 married filing jointly, the Tax Foundation 2026 figures. The $3,200 personal exemption per person is not modelled. County income tax is separate and not included.
How much is Maryland's county income tax?
Maryland counties (and Baltimore City) charge a local income tax of roughly 2.25% to 3.2% on top of the state rates above. It is not included in this calculator, so a Maryland worker's actual take-home pay is lower than shown here — by roughly $100 or more per month on a $60,000 salary in a high-tax county.
How much will I take home in Maryland on $60,000 a year?
A single filer paid biweekly on $60,000 takes home about $1,836.60 per paycheck: $2,307.69 gross, less $193.08 federal tax, $101.48 Maryland state tax, $143.08 Social Security and $33.46 Medicare.
